Bulwark of Light

Chapter 367 The Great Sniper of Truth (Big chapter, ask for a monthly pass!)

That's all memory, mostly chaotic shocks.

The amount of useful information... is simply too little.

Gu Shen glanced at the unconscious man.

"Trident Silver Foil..."

He searched the man and found the pinned silver foil on the inside of his shirt. He didn't touch it directly... If it is really a symbol of the church, it is very likely that there is a similar spiritual power hidden in the silver foil. The presence.

Otherwise, how could such an ordinary believer be allowed to be released alone?
Gu Shen used the ruler of truth to twist the silver foil out of thin air.

He looked at it for a while, but didn't see any clues, and then turned his attention to the scattered bag... This bag seems to have been waterproofed, and the liquid didn't seep through at all, and it was still warm, and the mouth of the bag was faint. It exudes hot mist, and judging from the bulging outline, it is filled with round and spherical objects.

Women, old people, and even younger ones...

Gu Shen was silent for a second after opening it.

He swiped two fingers together.

A line of blood splashed out.

The priest's head flew out, landed on the snow, and was immediately ignited by the flames. His face was still confused until death.

"I understand your anger." Chu Ling said softly: "But killing him...is not the wisest choice."

Hypnosis, cancellation of memory, and waiting may be the safest way.

But Gu Shen didn't choose that.

"Actually, it's not just anger." Gu Shen said slowly: "There are some other emotions, but aside from these, there is a very important reason..."

"All problems in this world have more than one solution, and sometimes the most efficient solution may not be the optimal solution."

Gu Shen responded calmly, and at the same time lowered his head and snapped his fingers again, the sack filled with "balls" also burned, the fire and smoke were covered by the arc of the ruler of truth, refracted into cold wind and snow.

"This person was sent out to deal with 'filth' only."

Gu Shen raised his head and said with a blank expression: "A church organization that has both 'supernatural beings' and 'ordinary people', would it care so much about an ordinary life? I can't see it, I want to take the 'Lamp of Sorrow' , it is unavoidable to have a direct contact. If it is not that I have not got something, I should be thinking about how to detonate this entire snow mountain, and let the group of people inside go to hell."

Or maybe they were all devils in the first place.

"I should be able to decipher that password door... just need to interact with the Internet, they will inevitably use [deep sea] as an information medium. If I guess correctly, I only need a small silver foil to let me know The situation in the entire 'base'."

Gu Shen nodded.

He used the ruler of truth to blow a huge snowstorm to cover the "monitoring" in front of the door.

At the same time, he ingested the silver foil and floated to the location of the password door with mental power, and found a card reader slot.

Silver foil insert.

Chu Ling's link began to spread——

During the waiting time, Gu Shen leaned his back against the rock, and said softly, "Your method won't work, I still have my method..."

The voice has not landed yet.

"Drip" sound.

The password door has been opened.

Gu Shen's expression was a little subtle.

"It sounds like you are very sure..." Chu Ling smiled and said, "Let me guess what your method is, whether you use the 'flaming fire' to melt at high temperature, or use the 'Iron Throne' to launch a frontal attack." ?”

"Your speed is too fast." Gu Shen muttered, put on the priest's Nanzhou robe, before entering the door, subconsciously lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the camera above the door.

"Don't worry, everything that should be blocked has been blocked. These Nanzhou priests are not very vigilant."

Chu Ling said softly: "The whole mountainside base is very big, here is a three-dimensional model map."

A three-dimensional map appeared in front of the retina.

Beyond that...the familiar red dot.

"There are 46 extraordinary people in total. All are marked with red dots."

"279 ordinary people, marked with yellow dots."

"One third-stage transcendent is expected to reach the seventh level of strength in the deep water area, 1 second-stage extraordinary, 11 first-stage extraordinary...these are all members of the 'Evening Bell Church'."

"Evening Bell Church?"

"This is the information obtained from the base database. This database is not synchronized with the central database... The personnel list and base drawings just now were found from an independent database." Chu Ling said: "By the way, the church in Nanzhou There are many, and no useful information can be found just from the name of 'Evening Bell'."

Gu Shen was thoughtful, "Nanzhou...Evening Bell Church..."

He whispered: "You help me investigate a case..."

……

……

"These ordinary people have a shared residence."

Taking a closer look at the map, Gu Shen found that the dense yellow dots were all gathered in one place.

He pulled the large black robe to cover his cheeks, and then walked silently towards the area densely populated with yellow dots... Along the way, he saw several extraordinary people, and they did not doubt his identity. It seems that the previous conjecture There are no errors.

Extraordinary people don't care about ordinary people at all.

"Under this snow field, there are 'Mithril' materials... This base was established six months ago, and the Evening Bell Church sent less than ten people at the beginning."

All the way.

Chu Ling linked to the database of the base, and said slowly: "After the establishment of the base, Nanzhou began to send church members bit by bit, and there were these extraordinary people you saw... and a few ordinary believers. What I feel Most of the ordinary people who came here were not entered in the database, which means that the Evening Bell Church does not have their information.”

"Or...they don't care..."

Gu Shen already roughly understood the whole picture of this matter.

He looked coldly not far away. The priests of the Evening Bell Church were yelling in Nanzhou language, angrily whipping a young man. The latter knelt on the ground and was beaten to pieces.

There are a total of 279 "ordinary people" here, a very small number of them are "evening bell priests" who crossed from Nanzhou, such as the one I just killed... and more are directly plundered from the tundra. .

It is located in a remote place. Although there is a safety line established by the federal government, there is no guarantee that everyone will not cross the long line.

Once in no man's land.

Being targeted by the "Evening Bell Church"... I am afraid that he will be sent here.

Mining strong logic materials requires a young and vigorous labor force, and those "looted" who do not meet the conditions, after losing their value...the tragic ending is already doomed...

"Nanzhou is a chaotic place, with churches everywhere, beliefs in chaos, and wars everywhere."

Chu Ling said: "These people are all desperadoes, and they don't have the slightest pity in their eyes... It's even more so after they come to Dongzhou. Do you need me to inform the Gu family?"

Five people are secretly stationed in the tundra.

"Don't worry, let's figure out the situation here first."

Gu Shen's expression under the black robe was already very gloomy.

If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined... Nanzhou Church is so rampant, and dares to stretch his hand so far!
He is already ready to notify Mr. Gu, mobilize nearby forces, and prepare to kill——

After he got the "Lamp of Sorrow", none of the church members here should try to escape!
He silently followed the navigation on the map, arrived at the "common area", and saw the site where the so-called strong logic material was mined. Large chunks of mountain rock walls were hard-chiseled by manpower, and the red crystal gravel was pried out. , which is the initial form of red silver.

One after another "workers" were working hard, and Gu Shen found that the chests of these people, like his own, were all covered with silver foil.

"These people... seem to be docile."

He looked serious.

Is this tortured to absolute obedience and loss of humanity?

Or... experienced powerful spiritual hypnosis?
"The database here is at the deepest level, and a layer of locks has been locked. I still need some time..." Chu Ling said: "There may be a terrible secret. The entire terrain of this base seems to only show half, and there are other Half of it is blocked by encryption."

Gu Shen was just about to respond.

A big hand patted his shoulder.

His body froze.

The other party was an extraordinary person from the third floor of the deep water area. He patted Gu Shen on the shoulder and spoke a series of obscure words.

"...What is this guy talking about?"

Gu Shen felt a big headache.

"This is asking you to go with him..." Chu Ling said calmly: "You don't need to respond, just go with him."

Gu Shen took a deep breath.

He turned around slowly, with all his mental strength restrained, he didn't raise his head, and he didn't say a word. From the corner of his eye, he noticed that the talking Transcendents slapped their shoulders one by one, and people reached out to put their hands on the former's shoulders, forming a long dragon like this. Stepping towards the distance...

"This is... going to..."

Gu Shen's eyelids twitched slightly.

He saw the end of the line, at the very front, stood a lady in a green linen robe.

The lady was holding her collar with one hand, and a long chain of a pocket watch was hanging from her palm. The pocket watch automatically made a ticking, ticking sound at an extremely slow pace.

Gu Shen is too familiar with this posture...

This is to hypnotize!
No wonder... an ordinary congregation can be allowed to leave the base to dispose of the corpse...

In fact, everyone who is caught will become a "congregant" of the Evening Bell Church after undergoing hypnosis.

Even if you want them to die, you won't hesitate at all, right?
All in place.

A deep singing voice sounded——

It's just that this time it's different from the previous one... It's everyone speaking out together, singing the ancient ballad together.

Gu Shen bit the bullet and began to sing along. In fact, he couldn't understand a single word, let alone make a sound, so he could only fish in troubled waters. Fortunately, in this grand and solemn atmosphere, every believer was immersed in his own singing , and no one has found such a lip-syncing slip through the net.

The solemn chant drowned out the sound of the striking pin of the pocket watch.

Accompanied by the sound of "tick".

A ray of spiritual power spread like rippling water, covering everyone!

Gu Shen was shrouded in it, and felt it silently.

The mental power of this green-robed lady is quite good... probably already at the level of the fourth floor of the deep water area.

In other words, she is one of the 11 Stage 2 Transcendents.

It's just that... she doesn't have enough strength to hypnotize herself!
After abandoning the "deep water area trial method", Gu Shen didn't know what level he had reached... It's just that he practiced the breath of spring day and night, coupled with the protection of the wilderness of the four seasons, his spiritual power has far surpassed that of deep water The strength that the fourth layer of the district should have.

He restrained himself and prepared to pretend.

next moment.

All the light sources in the entire base were extinguished.

Total darkness.

……

……

"The power to the control room was cut."

Chu Ling's voice was unusually calm.

"But... I didn't do it."

When he heard the first half of the sentence, Gu Shen was slightly relieved, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, his expression became serious.

The power supply in the control room was cut off... Who else would do this kind of thing except myself?

"The last password has been deciphered, and all maps have been unlocked."

Chu Ling said calmly: "The map of this snowfield base only shows half...the remaining half is blocked by multiple mithril gates, and that's where the real 'secret' lies."

All the maps were passed into Gu Shen's eyes.

After just one glance, Gu Shen's pupils shrank uncontrollably.

He was a little shocked: "This is...a tomb?"

"Yes, this is a tomb." Chu Ling said: "It's just that the area has been doubled now. These Nanzhou believers dug snow-capped mountains, hollowed out the mountainside, and dug a huge gap from the back of the tomb... It seems They're trying to mine 'strong logic material', but in reality..."

The map of the mausoleum is very simple and weird.

A vertical coffin hangs above the huge wall.

The "strong logic material" mined by these believers grows on the back of the huge wall of the ancient coffin. If the digging continues, the back of the coffin will be broken.

"They couldn't open the coffin from the front, so they used this method to try to 'open the coffin'."

Seeing all the maps of the base, Gu Shen understood...these guys could never be lucky enough to find them randomly, they must have come prepared. This is not only a missionary site, but also a "buried bones" that has been hidden for many years. Township".

The abnormality of the base's power supply lasted for tens of seconds, and the transcendents rushed over, and when they arrived at the control room, everything returned to normal.

The Transcendents who control the base are a little confused.

They quickly checked the surveillance cameras everywhere, especially the surveillance cameras of the [Ancient Mausoleum], and there was nothing unusual, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

Was the fluctuation just now a mistake?
After checking it again and confirming that it was correct, they regarded it as an occasional malfunction of the machine.

But now, since it has recovered and there is no abnormality, there is no need to waste time.

The chanting ceremony was disturbed by a sudden storm, but it was not interrupted. Every ordinary congregation was immersed in the chanting atmosphere, and the pocket watch that released the power of hypnosis did not stop shaking.

It's just that no one noticed.

After power is restored.

Among the singing team, there is already one person missing.

……

……

In the dark tunnel, electric arcs loomed.

A figure hurriedly walked.

Wherever this figure passed, the gates were opened, and he could pass all the way without hindrance, and all the authority was opened for him alone.

Here's the other half of the base—

Absolutely confidential [ancient tomb] that was ordered to be strictly sealed off!
In order to ensure the smooth opening of the tomb, no one will be able to enter here on weekdays, but today is an exception. The authority of the control room is completely lost, and all the powers of the instruments are seconded... As the gates are opened one by one, A man in a black robe came to the real mausoleum.

He stood in front of the ancient coffin.

Silently and quietly appreciating the "history" that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

One by one, the gates closed again.

Everything is back to normal.

The real "capture" is not to destroy it.

It's a "repair" of pretending to be innocent.

The power will be restored soon, and after that... From the perspective of the monitoring room, there is nothing unusual about this huge ancient tomb. Everything here is deadly silent.

No one will know... a person has entered here quietly.

A man admires his work of art.

He stood in front of the coffin and slowly stretched out his palm. This "ancient coffin" that could not be opened... was extremely obedient and opened towards his palm obediently.

He held his breath, waiting for the scene after the vertical coffin was opened.

The wind blows—

Snow-white light flows out from the gap in the vertical coffin.

The man narrowed his eyes, and when he saw the scene in the coffin clearly, his expression became surprised and complicated.

There is no "corpse" in this locked "vertical coffin". There is a faint figure lying in the coffin, but it is just a figure... It is the trace left by a certain body after lying down for too long. Under the light of the spot, there is a dark shadow.

Other than that, there seemed to be only some messy things left in the coffin... such as useless ancient bronze lamps, and rusted iron clothes. These objects were piled up inside the coffin, ancient and soulless.

At the moment the coffin was opened, these objects rushed out.

The man's expression became very ugly.

He couldn't believe it... Evening Bell Church spent so much energy "opening the tomb", just these things.

He walked slowly towards the vertical coffin.

The closer he got, the more attractive the coffin seemed... He saw that there was another item inside the coffin... a necklace of white jade with a red string, hanging on the shadow's neck.

It seems that the owner of the ancient coffin is still lying in the coffin.

This necklace is always worn around his neck.

Even if the coffin is opened.

The shadow did not dissipate under the light spot, and the necklace did not fall out of the coffin.

The man looked at the necklace carefully, his eyes fixed on the snow-white "jade", and recalled a series of memories in his mind... On a long night not long ago, that painful memory of blood spattering.

There was a tinge of red in his eyes, and his breathing became short of breath.

When he saw this red rope jade necklace, he knew... This trip, he has gained something!
The man holds out his hand.

And just when he was about to touch the necklace.

Steep Mutation——

"Whoosh"!
A thin piece of rust engulfed the white jade and flew out of the coffin in an instant. The white jade flew tens of meters away and landed in the shadow behind the man.

Here, there is a second person!
The next moment, the light in the mausoleum came back on again, and the man saw clearly the face of the young man in the darkness who was playing with the ancient snow-white jade against the side of the standing stone wall.

His expression became extremely shocked and ugly.

"Why... so surprised to see me? Don't you know me?"

Gu Shen weighed the white jade expressionlessly.

He squinted his eyes and looked at the strange face in front of him.

From the moment the power authority was disconnected...he realized that there was a problem. The authority used by this base is an independent closed loop. Even Chu Ling would need to spend a lot of effort to intrude.

Say these guys, be very careful about permissions security!
How could there be such a low-level mistake as "power disconnection"!
In this base, there is a second person hidden...and this person came earlier than himself, and it is very likely that he has already set his sights on the "Ancient Tomb". When I was looking for the token, there was an intuition in my heart for no reason.

He thought of the night he had experienced in the Freedom Church in the metropolitan area.

A certain frenzied fanatic who established a "believer organization" in Dadu was shot dead thousands of miles away in "Southern Continent"... The Intercontinental Federal Government Investigation Agency was in charge of informing Mr. Shu of the results of the case, and Mr. Shu returned pass it on to yourself.

The chain of evidence is solid.

The "monster" was shot dead in the church in Nanzhou, and the priest and nun witnessed all this in person.

At that time, Gu Shen thought that everything was over.

But when he saw the face of the man in front of him... Gu Shen knew that all this was still going on.

With a long sigh, he stroked the snow-white "jade" with his fingers.

Destiny is a wonderful thing...something you thought you would never see a second time.

Unexpectedly, the reunion came so quickly.

Not just people, but things too.

He tore off the red rope, held "Bai Yu" closer, and his voice became low and deep: "Think carefully, when did we meet?"

"I do not understand what you are saying."

The man in the black robe of the Evening Bell Church just narrowed his eyes and gave an indifferent response: "Friend, we all know what each other is doing, and those guys outside are not easy to mess with. Oh no."

Gu Shen didn't respond to this sentence at all.

"Since your memory is not very good, let me help you recall..."

He opened his mouth lightly and gave a reminder, "Last November."

The priest fell into complete silence.

"Okay...you don't seem to know me anymore, so do you know this bullet?"

The arc light of the ruler of truth oscillates and fills the mausoleum like daytime.

Gu Shen held up the truth gun.

"Avalanche" has been loaded.

The familiar scene was staged once in the Liberty Auditorium last November.

A majestic sense of crisis descended.

Being pressed against his head by a big sniper at close range, the man's expression was very ugly.

A ray of blood appeared between his brows, and immediately the scarlet color surged into a sea.

"Remember, the feeling of being smashed by a single shot by me."

Looking at the man in front of him, Gu Shen asked expressionlessly, "What should I call you...Zhou Yu...Ye Ningqiu...Xiao..."

"Or, some disgusting thing that can't be killed."
